Both the halves had a different story as Betis looked at the top and played accurately according to the plan as they were fast onto counters and were intercepting the vertical passes on the field. Isco’s magic and Abde’s speed on the wings proved to be the most lethal Betis weapon as Malo Gusto was caught lurking up on the field on many occasions which allowed Abde to run in the penalty area.
